Shadow Priest Simulation Compilation - Battle for Azeroth 8.1

Sims Intro\rWelcome to Wowhead's Shadow Priest Simulations page for Tides of Vengeance, Battle for Azeroth's first content patch! This page serves as a compilation of the information used to support the choices and recommendations used throughout this guide. As usual with this type of information, simulations are subject to variance based on input, so we invite you to do your own simulations through SimulationCraft or Raidbots using your own gear to get the best individual results for your character.\r\rCurrently, these simulations have been made to reflect the best pre-raid gear from dungeons available before the release of Uldir. To learn more about what gear to prioritize, reference the Shadow Priest Gear and Stats guides.\r\rOur guides are always updated with the latest information from in-game experience, simulations, and logs; make sure to check our changelog to this page, by clicking on View Changelog at the top of the page.

Generally sims are separated into the top talent combinations for Dark Ascension and Legacy of the Void. These are further separated in a composite sim, which is our best attempt at simulating actual raid fights from the current raid and pure single target patchwerk sims.\r\r\r\r\r\rDark Ascension - Sims\rLegacy of the Void - Sims\r\r\r\r\r\r Talent Comparison Sims \r\r\r\r\r\rDark Ascension - Sims\rLegacy of the Void - Sims\r\r\r\r\rRacials\r\rDark Ascension - Sims\rLegacy of the Void - Sims\r\r\rEnchants\r\rDark Ascension - Sims\rLegacy of the Void - Sims\r\r\rConsumables\r\rDark Ascension - Sims\rLegacy of the Void - Sims\r\r\r\r\r\r\rFooter\r\r\r\rFeedback\r\rThanks for reading our class guides!
